I just don't see how this is a long-term solution. Without massive infrastructure and also safety concerns. Still takes electricity to make fuel.
Yeah, and all that is reflected in the price of hydrogen.I still think it's a lousy battery technology. You have to make the hydrogen, then use a really inefficient thing called "compressing" in order to get reasonable density and thus any real amount of energy pumped into a fuel tank. [You know how when you run a compressor it gets hot around the pump area? that's wasted energy, turned into heat. Thus compressing hydrogen to high pressure involves wasted energy.] There's a few other issues in the way, but just these bits to me make it a non-starter.

It’s already is use in everyday warehouses powering fork lifts. The article points outs additional uses.I just don't see how this is a long-term solution. Without massive infrastructure and also safety concerns. Still takes electricity to make fuel.
Chinas motivation is they don't want foreign oil.I keep hearing on News Radio that Hydrogen will be the primary fuel in the next decade. So far, China is miles ahead of us in harnessing Hydrogen technology.
This is great news really! Both corporations need to kick it into the next gear A.S.A.P
Im assuming you saw my post above yours. H2 is not close to dead.Hydrogen is dead on arrival. Hydrogen will go away as soon as normies figure out how much it costs.

No unless some incredible battery technology emerges. I don't think there is a silver bullet.Do you see EVs at a Long-Term solution?
They fit in the category of:Im assuming you saw my post above yours. H2 is not close to dead.
Walmart currently has 9,500 H2 fork lifts, Amazon is well on its way too. With a contract for 11,000 tons of H2 per year starting next year.
Taken from the links I posted on Amazon.
“We already have more than 70 fulfillment centers outfitted with hydrogen storage and dispensing systems, which will allow us to start using green hydrogen to replace fossil fuels. Today, we use that system to power over 15,000 fuel-cell propelled forklifts, with plans to grow that number to 20,000 across 100 fulfillment centers by 2025. That’s just the start,” said Dean Fullerton, vice president of Global Engineering and Security Services at Amazon. “Across Amazon’s operations, we’re exploring and testing the use of other hydrogen applications, such as fuel-cell electric trucks and fuel-cell power generation stations providing electricity to Amazon buildings.”
AS far as consumer vehicles that isnt what the OP is about.
Still dead on arrival.for those whom money is no object and wish to virtue signal that they're saving the world between private jet flights.
The only reason hydrogen cars exist is to make battery powered cars look viable.Do you see EVs at a Long-Term solution?
